Our experience at Den Devine was fabulous. The Souvlaki Platter was delicious, and the Alice Cooper Cocktail was great. The entertainment on the evening was the band Sugar Game, and they were awesome.

Upon arrival my wife and I were cordially greeted and shown to our seats at the bar. From then on we were very well looked after the bar staff , Lauren and a young Spanish lady whose name I unfortunately cannot remember. The drinks and cocktails made by Lauren were absolutely amazing and general service was fantastic. We will definitely be going back again.
